Human Revolution is the third game in the Deus Ex series, a prequel where players take control of augmented security officer Adam Jensen, and investigate attacks against Sarif Industries, a leader in augmentation technology.

Game breaking bug?

So I am now in Shanghai for the second time, and I think I broke the game. First off there's the sidequest where I have to find an agumented super soldier; the game tells me to check the pocket secretary... and it just stops there. I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do now. The worst one, though, is when I have to take out the terrorists at the meeting for the chip without killing them... except I can't! When I come near them they are like "Go away dude." When I sneak behind them, the game doesn't give me any options! Why?

I love how I'm in HONG KONG in Deus Ex ONE right now and I have no fucking idea what to do either.

if you're hoping for a takedown option to pop up, sometimes it doesn't tell you that you can do a takedown but it will work if you press the button anyway.

for the rogue soldier, have you read the pocked secretary? it tells you where he went (sort of) but for some reason it doesn't give you a secondary objective marker. if you can't find him, he's in the sewer beneath the meeting place where you're trying to recover the chip.

There aren't so many sewers that you can't methodically check them all in about 10 minutes. If you track down their original hiding place you will discover a clue that indicates they are hiding in a sewer. The lack of a quest indicator was odd, but not unique. There is no quest marker for the "rescue the hostages" objective in the first mission, there's an entire quest line in Detroit that isn't on the map or the quest log until you talk to the undercover vice cop (Prichard mentions her) and another side quest later in the game which has three locations to find that aren't marked. It's possible, but unlikely that all of these are bugs. I don't mind having to search around a bit, I think the normal quest marker behavior gives a little too much away in a few cases.

This happened to me too. It's definitely a bug. What I ended up doing after it happened to me a second time (second playthrough) was look up the location it's supposed to point you to using an FAQ. Really frustrating that I had to miss it on my first go through the game. At least it isn't *the* main quest line...

Pay more attention when given quests. I don't say that to be dick, but to reflect on my own stupid habits... I loved the main story quest line, but ignored information given to me when I was doing sidequests... Yeah, don't do that.
